The Prattville City Council is expected to act during its Tuesday night meeting on a fee schedule that would charge a $25 permit for each event along with a $25 per hour, per police officer fee if officers are needed for street closures or for crowd and traffic control, according to the report.

The fees would help offset expenses the city incurs during the events, said District 7 Councilwoman Lora Lee Boone, who chairs the board’s parks and recreation committee.
